First Wednesday 2018

Weather was just a little bit windy, but quite a few guys turned up to enjoy a flight.

Bruce decided to launch his  big flying wing by bungee, great success.

I have been trying to get a half way decent shot of Toms PT22 airborne for ages, FINALLY succeeded! He installed a different prop and is much happier with its performance.
:) Geoff.

Christmas celebration.

The Retreat Hotel, Nicholson was the venue, we were not the only patrons it was packed, camaraderie and food was excellent.

Thoughfulness at the silly riddles

The raffle main prizes of rides in a Tiger Moth kindly donated by Pete A and
 Ron B along with a $50 gift voucher to Bairnsdales favourite toy shop donated by Brian and Lorraine raised $250 for the club.
Edith H and Tony W will go flying and Ron B will spend up big at ToyLand.
Huge thanks to all who attended and contributed to a great evening.

New from Tom.

This was a battered old hulk when it arrived in the shed, Tom took pity and has transformed it into a superb 'Museum' rated piece.
It is a Ryan PT22

Fabulous work from Tom and not only that -- it also Flies!
:) Geoff

Addendum

I had lots of pics of the recent working bees, I thought I would upload some.

This will be the "sump" where water will collect and drain.........

to this end where it will then..........

 head out along this spoon drain into the paddock.

There were many hands and feet present to roll up .....

Saturday Static

The 18th November was the Annual Fete at StJohns Church in Bairnsdale and we had a few models on show again. Weather was great, lots of people stopped to have a good look at the models.

The most common question was "Do they actually fly?".

:) Geoff

KNAP @SADAC

Fine weather saw plenty of modellers turn out for Sale clubs annual Kero, Nitro, Amps, Petrol fly in. In the past there have been plenty of jet jockeys in attendance, unfortunately, not so this time.

Scott Matthews brilliant models

Lots of models and people.

Greg Fry with his lovely turbine-powered heli.

Perfect scale flying is the only way to fly.

Rons RV4 looks good in this company.

Interesting glider

Tech talk, burnt out servo meant no flight.

Rodney did some nifty taxiing demo's.

Busy busy, as one lands another is ready to take off, pretty much all day.

What does Scott use to tow this beauty?

It was a good day, thank you to our members who came and enjoyed.
I hope we can get more of us to get to more events so other clubs know we are active.      :) Geoff
